i've sent emails to my local MP - linda gilroy - suggest we should all

on top of the fact that it will be hundreds of thousands of our
tax-payer pounds which are being sent over to MS for shite software this
is stupidity of the highest order.

Don't blame me, I didn't vote for the current "Government", neither do I have (after 
many years in the Army having to work with the "Civil" Service) have any faith in 
the real deciders and implementors of policy.

I also remember with a mixture of horror and loathing trying to get IT installation 
and support in my branch of MOD some years ago.

As a well remembered car sticker said at the time of the introduction of the Trident 
programme "Deep down, you know it makes sense".

It did then- but that was before M$ got a hold- now it's (merely?) dangerous 
non-sense.
